Why Synchronism?

Physics has a fragmentation problem. Synchronism asks whether one principle could connect what we currently treat as separate domains.

The Problem

Modern physics uses different equations for different scales. Quantum mechanics governs the small. General relativity governs the large. Chemistry sits in between with its own empirical rules. Consciousness has no physics at all.

This isn't necessarily wrong — specialized models work brilliantly in their domains. But it raises a question:

What if there's a single function that maps density to behavior across all scales?

The Approach

Synchronism proposes a coherence function: C(ρ) = tanh(γ · log(ρ/ρcrit + 1)). It takes one input (density) and returns one output (coherence: how quantum or classical something is).

The parameter γ = 2/√Ncorr depends only on how many particles are moving as a correlated unit. When γ is large (few correlated particles), behavior is quantum. When γ is small (many correlated particles), behavior is classical.

This was derived from first principles, not fitted to data. Then tested against data. Some predictions held up. Others failed.

What Worked

Galaxy Rotation Curves

Tested against 14,760 galaxies (SPARC + ALFALFA-SDSS). MOND's acceleration constant a₀ = cH₀/(2π) emerged from the theory.

Strongly Supported

Chemistry: γ ≈ 1 Boundary

1,703 chemical phenomena cluster at the quantum-classical boundary. Sound velocity correlation: r = 0.982.

89% Validated

What Failed

Melting Point Predictions

Average error: 53%. The coherence function doesn't capture enough crystal-specific physics for accurate melting points.

Failed

Superconductivity Tc

Predicted 607K for YBCO, actual is 93K. The η (reachability factor) turned out to be a reparametrization of Abrikosov-Gor'kov pair-breaking (known since 1960).
